Budget overview

Budget Management maintains the financial facts used for project-control reporting.

Record	Meaning
Initial budget	Original approved budget baseline
Change-order budget	Authorized or pending scope/budget change
Committed cost	Purchase, subcontract, or other committed exposure
Actual cost	Cost already incurred or posted from the source system
Cost to complete	Forecast of the remaining cost

Reports combine these facts to support revised-budget, exposure, forecast, and variance analysis. Exact formulas and inclusion rules follow your organization's approved accounting policy.

Controls

• Use stable job, phase, cost-code, item, vendor, and transaction identifiers.
• Do not mix currencies or reporting periods without an approved conversion policy.
• Reconcile imported totals to the source batch before approving analysis.
• Use Integration Logs for rejected or duplicate inbound records.
• Export with the active filters visible and retain the report timestamp.
